Philipp Scharrenberg - "Wahr, aber falsch"

Language is a wonderful thing! You can use it to create misunderstandings, stir people up, and build alternative realities. You can declare gut feelings to be facts. Or - you can get the best out of it! That's what Philipp Scharrenberg does.

He's the rascal of cabaret, the M.C. Escher of the spoken word, the Daniel Düsentrieb of comedy - a little whack, a little weird, and a few other things starting with W. Someone who stacks rhymes like Lego bricks. Who spins across the stage in a verbal expressive dance without trying to look cool. Small art over big ego. Whack is the new cool anyway.

At a Philipp Scharrenberg show, you have to expect anything. With self-deprecating wit and sharp humour, he delivers a little enlightenment in a world that no longer even pretends to make sense. Can a world like that still be saved? Do we even want that? When real life outpaces satire and the level of comedy sinks into the basement, you need sharp minds who know what is wahr, aber falsch. In Niveau Veritas.
